FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis says a report that he came to training camp ''out of shape'' and is contributing to his struggles is a result of his former agents taking ''a shot'' at him.

A day after Cincinnati's A.J. Green had a huge game against Revis, a report on Sept. 12 by Bleacher Report quoted anonymous sources saying that Revis arrived to camp not in prime condition because he was coming off offseason wrist surgery and was unable to work out adequately.

On Wednesday, Revis says he believes that story came from his agents, although Bleacher Report's Jason Cole tweeted last week that it was ''people who worked out with Revis.''

During the offseason, Revis fired agents Neil Schwartz and Jon Feinsod, who helped negotiate several big-money deals for him.

In a statement, his agents say they ''only wish Darrelle the best of luck.''
